summer killing of bear. Killing a grizz- 
ly does not by any means measure the 
success of such a trip as was ours. The 
failure to see and to shoot this animal 
was merely an unrealized, incidental 
longing. The many scenes of rare beau- 
ty; the marvels of birds and beasts; 
the magnificent solitude provided such 
rest and strength, that I was content. 
T HERE were goats in all likely 
places. Often while watching by 
a bear trail I gazed through binocu- 
lars at them on the cliffs. To see them 
climbing over steep, yes, almost vertical 
ascents, always fascinates me. I 
watched one old nanny and a yearling 
(evidently her last year’s kid) feeding 
daily on a particular cliff, near a belt 
of timber. On May twenty-sixth I saw 
the yearling in his customary pasture; 
but the mother was nowhere in sight. 
Towards evening the nanny emerged 
from the timber, accompanied by a tiny 
kid evidently but a few hours old. 
She now avoided the more difficult 
places, feeding close to the timber; for 
the evident purpose of protecting her 
young from the bald eagles that were 
sweeping over the cliffs. Upon the ap- 
pearance of the nanny with her kid the 
yearling was some distance down the 
cliff; but when he saw his mother and 
the little one he immediately started 
upon an expedition of discovery, rapidly 
climbing towards them. As he drew 
near the mother goat she stamped her 
foot iand made a move to beat him off. 
Finally, when he succeeded in getting 
within a short distance of the kid the 
nanny rushed at him in a most threat- 
ening manner. Then he made off, but 
now and then stopped to look back. 
At each turn he saw his mother in a 
most menacing attitude, and the yearl- 
ing apprehended that it boded ill for 
him. She looked precisely like the an- 
gry goat in the photograph in Horna- 
day’s “Camp Fires in the Canadian 
Rockies.” The mother had, for a year, 
kept her offspring safe from wolves, 
coyotes, and eagles, and it was now up 
to the yearling to shift for himself, and 
up to nanny to protect her newly born. 
The following da^y the mother and her 
kid kept close to the timber; and the 
yearling was far down the mountain 
side, alone in a big, desolate world. His 
nose was most effectively broken. 
I SAW bald eagles nesting in the tree 
tops of the valley and sweeping the 
mountain sides in search of food. 
Sometimes I saw them upon their nests ; 
but only once did I see an eagle descend 
to her nest. She came sweeping from 
the mountain, in magnificent grace, un- 
til immediately over her nest. Then, 
she spread her wings upward to the 
limit; extended her legs downward; 
spread her talons ; inclined her head and 
alighted without disturbing a twig. 
There was a most merry company of 
birds. Ruffed grouse were drumming in
